KETO Friendly Oven Baked Chicken Taco Omelet "Muffins" (VERY LOW CARB)

Chicken Taco Omelet Muffins with a Crema drizzle.

Ingredients:
cooking oil spray (olive, coconut or avocado)
8 ounces cooked & diced chicken breasts

1 teaspoon instant minced onion
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon crushed dried red pepper 

1/4  teaspoon sea salt (optional)

1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano leaves

1/4 teaspoon instant minced garlic (or garlic powder)

3 to 4 tablespoons water

3 ounces cheddar cheese, shredded
6 large eggs
2 tablespoons heavy cream
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons sour cream ~ optional
1 teaspoon Franks Original Red Hot Sauce (or sauce of choice) ~ optional

Method:
Preheat oven to 350*. Spray 12 muffin cups with cooking oil spray. (I use silicone muffin pans.) Set aside.
Place the diced chicken into a skillet and sprinkle the onion, cumin, red pepper, salt, chili powder, oregano and minced garlic on top. Add the water. Stir over a medium low heat until the chicken is well coated with the spices and the water is absorbed. Remove from the heat and evenly divide between the muffin cups.Evenly divide the shredded cheddar cheese on top of the chicken.
In a large measuring cup, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream and black pepper. Divide the beaten eggs evenly between the 12 muffin cups, pouring over the chicken and cheese to cover.
Bake in the preheated oven for 7 minutes. Turn the pan around and continue baking for another 8 minutes, or until set. (Be careful not to brown the tops, if you will be reheating the mini omelets.) 

Serve immediately, or cool, before storing in an airtight container. 
These will keep in the refrigerator for 5 days. Reheat wrapped in foil, in the oven, or in a microwave oven, unwrapped, on a plate. If desired, stir together the sour cream and hot sauce, until well blended, and drizzle over the tops of the omelet muffins just before serving.
Makes 12.

If desired, you can make these ahead of time and freeze. (Move a frozen omelet to the refrigerator the night before heating for breakfast.)
I created this recipe, because I had leftover rotisserie chicken and I wanted to bring brunch to my parents. They were a big hit!
